PER CURIAM.

Defendant appeals his convictions for burglary, grand theft, assault, and ‍​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‍petit theft. The court sentenced defendant to three years for burglary, three years probation for grand theft to begin upon his ‍​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‍release from prison, and concurrent sixty day terms for the other crimes. The multiple convictions are proper, but the multiple theft sentences ‍​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‍are not since the petit theft was a lesser included charge of the grand theft. State v. Hegstrom, 401 So.2d 1343 (Fla.1981); Ervin v. State, 419 ‍​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‍So.2d 409 (Fla. 2d DCA 1981). Therefore, we vacate the sixty day sentence for petit theft. We affirm all of defendant’s convictions ‍​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‍and the remaining sentences.

GRIMES, A.C.J., and DANAHY and SCHOONOVER, JJ., concur.
